Why did SMU get into the CFP over Bama?

According to @cravenmike.bsky.social follow the money.

Baylor’s Landrie Walsh wishes she could time travel and tell her high school self all the jobs women can have in college football.

While she can’t reach into the past, she and her fellow females in Texas CFB are changing the future.

Skyler Cassity is the youngest defensive coordinator in the FBS. He didn't take any shortcuts. Skyler Cassity enters his first season leading Sam Houston's defense at just 29 years old. But a lifetime in the coaching world has prepared him for this moment.

North Texas fans, get to know Skyler Cassity from this feature I wrote on him this summer.

How a career-ending injury, film study with his father and long hours in the Auburn recruiting office built him into the youngest DC in the FBS. #GMG

Kevin Jennings's Homecoming Amid a run to the ACC Championship Game and a potential College Football Playoff berth, SMU Mustangs quarterback Kevin Jennings returns to South Oak Cliff.

SMU QB Kevin Jennings returned to his alma mater, South Oak Cliff, last week as the newly minted “King of Dallas.”

Amid a run to the ACC Championship and a potential CFP berth, his story has become about so much more than football.

What does Grayson Rigdon have to prove? Grayson Rigdon built a legend for himself in Six-Man football thanks to three state championships with the Strawn Greyhounds and Benjamin Mustangs. Now with the Columbus Cardinals, he's looking for th...

This is the story I wrote on him ahead of his senior season.

www.texasfootball.com/article/2024...

Grayson Rigdon was the greatest six-man football player of all time from a town of 198 people.

He moved to Columbus, Texas, to play one year of 11-man football, putting his mythic reputation on the line for a chance to play college football.

Today, he committed to NC state.

SMU being the first team to clinch the ACC Championship Game after the conference powers tried to veto their entry is 🤌🏼🤌🏼 #PonyUpDallas

SMU Clinches ACC Championship Game Berth The SMU Mustangs got into the ACC over objections from the major powers and became the first team to clinch an ACC Championship Game berth in it's first season.

Rhett Lashlee told his players the CFP committee wasn’t disrespecting them, it just didn’t expect them.

Disrespected or unexpected? The 2024 Mustangs are both.

They’re also ACC Championship bound. #PonyUpDallas

Jacksonville State is in the C-USA Championship Game.

Western Kentucky clinches a spot if it beats Liberty. (Currently down 21-7 in 3rd)

Sam Houston gets into the game IF they beat Liberty AND Western Kentucky drops its last two games.

I don’t understand why anyone outside of Ohio State fans would be rooting for Ohio State today.

Family Feud: Houston Worthing defensive coordinator faces off against his son Houston Worthing Colts defensive coordinator Lemuel Stinson Sr. is scheming to stop his son, Tyler Chapel Hill Bulldogs running back Lemuel Stinson Jr.

“As soon as the ball kicks off, we’re not father and son anymore. It’s straight business.”

Houston Worthing DC Lemuel Stinson Sr. had plenty to game plan for in this second round playoff game, including his own son - Tyler Chapel Hill RB Lemuel Stinson Jr.

Great conversation with Baylor WR Josh Cameron about his journey from walk-on to leading WR.

One Fatal Flaw for Texas, Texas A&M and SMU Texas Longhorns, Texas A&M Aggies and SMU Mustangs are all alive for the College Football Playoff. Here's what will prevent them from making Final Four.

I picked one (potentially) fatal flaw that could prevent Texas, A&M and SMU from reaching the CFP Final Four.

Dave Aranda is BACK for 2025.

A remarkable turnaround for the Bears, and props to Aranda for making a low ego hire bringing in a former HC in Jake Spavital to run the offense.

BUT, I still have concerns about the longevity of this arrangement. #SicEm

UIW secures 3rd SLC crown in last 4 years with win over SFA The UIW Cardinals clinched their third Southland Conference title and automatic bid to FCS playoffs with a road win over the Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks.

What's the panic level for the Texas offense? Since Quinn Ewers's return, Texas Longhorns offense is playing well enough to win SEC games, but not well enough to reach the College Football Playoff's Final Four.

Since Quinn Ewers’s return, Texas is playing well enough to win SEC games, but not well enough to reach CFP’s Final Four.

I dug into three problems Texas must fix.

Steve Sarkisian play calling + Texas’s athletes is unfair.

Is having this UTSA team at 5-5 after 12 season ending injuries and suffering the three worst losses in program history actually Jeff Traylor’s best coaching job?

The Walk-ons' Fight for College Football's Soul Texas Longhorns' Michael Taaffe, Baylor Bears' Josh Cameron and Sam Houston Bearkats' Caleb Weaver are proving there's a place in college football for walk-ons.

Wrote about walk-ons having career years in the season where they’re closest to extinction.
